St Jude’s is a warm, lively, evangelical church seeking a prayerful, Christ-centred Vicar to lead us into the next season of our life and mission. At the heart of vibrant Southsea, with the seafront, Common and shopping precinct on our doorstep, we long to see our community encounter Jesus, find belonging and grow in faith.

We are a Word-and-Spirit church with a diverse congregation, strong children’s and youth ministry, and a thriving nursery school. Supported by an experienced leadership team which includes both volunteers and employed staff, St Jude’s has strong foundations for ministry, mission, and growth.

We are praying for a leader who is both strategic and relational; rooted in Scripture, open to the Spirit, and passionate about helping people grow as disciples. You will find a congregation eager to learn, to serve, and to share God’s love with Southsea’s growing and changing community.

A spacious five-bedroom vicarage is provided, within a short walk of the church.
